Background
The product of this gene is a member of the GCK group III family of kinases, which are a subset of the Ste20-like kinases. The encoded protein contains an amino-terminal kinase domain, and a carboxy-terminal regulatory domain that mediates homodimerization. The protein kinase localizes to the Golgi apparatus and is specifically activated by binding to the Golgi matrix protein GM130. It is also cleaved by caspase-3 in vitro, and may function in the apoptotic pathway. Several alternatively spliced transcript variants of this gene have been described, but the full-length nature of some of these variants has not been determined. [provided by RefSeq, Jul 2008],
Function
catalytic activity:ATP + a protein = ADP + a phosphoprotein.,cofactor:Magnesium.,enzyme regulation:Interaction with Golgi matrix protein GOLGA2 leads to autophosphorylation on Thr-178, possibly as a consequence of stabilization of dimer formation. May also be activated by C-terminal cleavage.,function:Potential mediator of cell growth. Pro-apoptotic.,similarity:Belongs to the protein kinase superfamily. STE Ser/Thr protein kinase family. STE20 subfamily.,similarity:Contains 1 protein kinase domain.,subcellular location:Localizes to the Golgi apparatus.,subunit:Homodimer.,

Cellular localization
Cytoplasm . Golgi apparatus . Colocalized with RIPOR1 in the Golgi of serum-starved cells and relocated to cytoplasmic punctae, probably vesicular compartments, along with RIPOR1 upon serum stimulation in a Rho- and PDCD10-dependent manner (PubMed:27807006). .
